This post could really be called F/1.4 love… because I am still so smitten with the photos taken with the Olympus OM-10 using the F/1.4 aperture. The depth of field and bokeh type effect is just so pretty… Of course now I just want to take more and more of them, so I really can’t wait for the days to start getting longer and it to be light when I leave work.

During our week in Norfolk, we managed to get to the beach and it was perfect! I love the beach in any weather and I especially love it with good company.
Although there were a lot of people around, the beach still seems vast and relaxing. Sigh, I love the beach!

Every year Leeds has a German Christmas Market in Millennium Square (I made a video of the carousel last year too) and this year we went with friends to look around, eat hotdogs, drink honey mead (which was delicious) and I took lots of photos which was so fun. Luckily we had a lovely sunny day too.
I took these photos with both my Refurb LC-A and my parents OM-10 camera, and I’m really enjoying using them together. The OM-10 allows me to capture more details, whilst the LC-A captures photos beautifully at most distances.

After using my 40p OM-40 camera, I decided that now was the time to start experimenting with my parents Olympus OM-10 camera properly… which of course means lots of F/1.4 photos of christmas tree ornaments and decorations (I love the grumpy pug so much). I’m sure I’ll get bored of playing with depth of field eventually, or maybe not.
I also snuck in a slightly blurry photo of Harry, because he’s cute, hurray!
(Did you notice that Harry has the biggest stocking… he’s also spoilt)

However, I accidently finished it over the weekend (playing with the camera, like you do) and here are the photos from that lovely day at Castle Howard… though neither Thomas or I can actually remember who took the photos.
{I remember taking the photo on the right, how beautiful is the light! Shame we still haven’t figured out the shutter speeds lol}
Aren’t the daffodils just amazing? I forgot how many that there were.
I always find the OM-10 quite intimidating compared to my little plastic cameras as there are so many settings but I always love the results from it. Perhaps we should use it more.

p.s. Sorry this isnt a post about our weekend – Gee still has the photos :)
(sorry this isn’t a great picture)
I’m really surprised I haven’t blogged about this sooner as I am completely in love with this camera: I love how it looks, how heavy it is, how the dials make little noises when you turn them and the fact there is still half a film in there from who knows when – I’m so excited to finish the roll and see what the photos are!
